I’ll be honest – I bought the ceylon tea sampler from Upton teas and this was one of the teas in it. Out of the 4 or 5 samplers I got, there was 1 that had a distinctive taste. This one tastes exactly like the other 3 or 4 other teas in there, so I really don’t know what to say without sounding like I’m regurgitating what I wrote 3 times already, which was…

- Its subtle and mellow
- Steep longer because their teas tend to be kind of weak?
- Nice aroma, would go well with some desserts to balance out the sweetness
- Not too acidic and smooth, good for people who want neutral tea
